Description
The Sunrise balloon-borne solar observatory consists of a 1m aperture Gregory telescope, a UV filter imager, an imaging vector polarimeter, an image stabilization system and further infrastructure. The first science flight of Sunrise yielded high-quality data that reveal the structure, dynamics and evolution of solar convection, oscillations and magnetic fields at a resolution of around 100 km in the quiet Sun. Here we describe very briefly the mission and the first results obtained from the Sunrise data, which include a number of discoveries.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    3.5 years of observing exoplanet day sides with CHEOPS

    Characterising Exoplanets Satellite (CHEOPS) is the first ESA exoplanet space mission. The satellite carries a 30cm telescope, optimised to deliver exquisite (ppm-level) photometry of bright exoplanetary systems at optical wavelengths. CHEOPS has spent approximately 20% of its observing time during its 3.5-year long nominal mission studying

    Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations

    Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Precise mass and radius measurements for small planets allow us to identify candidate water worlds that have bulk densities too low to be consistent with a rocky composition
